How did you find fitting those tires? I have the same setup (AR46 + GP5000 TL), and lost some skin mounting them  :P
Yeah I struggled a bit myself to. But with the help of some plastic tyre irons I was able to get them on.

The bike finally out on its first ride!
95% done, only need to add some bartape and do some final adjustments.
Haven't weighted it yet but it's close to 7.5-8kg I think.
-Lightbicycles ar46 wheels with Sapem spokes and carbon ti hubs.
-ultegra r8100 12sp 52-36/34-11 172.5
-conti gp5000s tl

The bike just feels fast. I'm not used to this type of fast. I come from a 10yo Isaac Pascal with mixed and matched groupset.
This is next level. I'm still kinda getting used to the stiffness and the changes this brings with cornering but that's just a matter of time.

Overall very happy with the build. It wasn't easy but it was my first time building a whole bike with DI2 and hydrolic brakes.

Hi all, just building up my frame and was wondering what the best way would be to fit a DI2 battery in the seattube?
I saw many solutions like wedges or rubbel plug type thingies to even just bubblewrapping the battery and stuffing it in the tube.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

My frame finally arrived today, ordered on the 14th of September and shipped out the 16th.
The frame looks good! Just need to order some wheels and a groupset so I can start building!

some weights for reference, my frame is a 54 with no paint.
frame: 1150g
fork (uncut): 448g
seatpost: 237g
handlebar (400 x 90): 344g

Still waiting my frame.. I ordered 29th sept and tracking shows that now is in Belgium and custom clearence is ended. If is in europe, hope I’ll have at home (spain) in a few days..

Hah, I ordered 15th of Sept and the shipping number (DPD) still shows nothing. What shipping method did you pick?
